So far, our project is an attempt to control the
flight of
an RC plane with the Rabbit microprocessor. To do this we
need several things....

Firstly, we need to acquire servos and an
accelerometer.
Then we must interface them with the Rabbit.

Second, we will implement switches to allow us
to select
different flight patterns before lift-off. This can be done
with a simple DIP switch. Different combinations of switches
will create different flight patterns.

Third, we hope to add a pitot tube to help us
measure the
air speed, which we will then use to perfect the flight
patterns.

Also, we would also like to include an IC circuit
that help
us measure altitude.

The last two additions to the project are to aid in
un-manned flight. Our first goal is obviously to get the
accelerometers, servos, and rabbit communicating properly.
The pitot tube and the altitude measurements are
improvements that we can see would be the obvious next
steps. We would consider communication with the servos to be
a success, but are not setting a goal right now as to where
we will be in December.
